Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is high humidity causing mold in my son’s bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

Since the humidity has been particularly high lately, especially after a rainstorm last month, I’ve noticed an unpleasant musty odor lingering in my son’s bedroom. It's pretty concerning since he’s been coughing more than usual, and I’m worried it could be due to mold or dust mites. The window is near his bed, and I usually keep the curtains open even during the rainy season for ventilation. Has anyone else experienced similar issues, and what did you do to address them?

Yes, high humidity can indeed be the culprit behind the musty odor and potential mold growth in your son's bedroom. Dubai, being a coastal city, is no stranger to fluctuating humidity levels, especially during rainy seasons or when there are sudden changes in weather conditions.

In the UAE, it’s quite common for such issues to arise due to high indoor moisture content. Mold thrives in environments where relative humidity exceeds 60-70%, and temperatures remain warm. The fact that you've noticed a musty smell along with your son's increased coughing should prompt immediate attention. It could be indicative of mold spores or dust mites, both of which can exacerbate respiratory issues.

Given the importance of indoor air quality in Dubai, especially for children who are more susceptible to allergens and irritants, it’s crucial to act swiftly. First steps include keeping an eye on the weather forecast and using dehumidifiers to maintain a healthy humidity level within your home—ideally around 40-60%.

Moreover, since you mentioned that the window by his bed is usually open, ensure that when doing so, there isn't excessive moisture coming in. If rain has been heavy or prolonged, consider closing the curtains and windows for a while to reduce indoor humidity.

However, if these steps don’t alleviate the issue, it might be wise to seek professional help. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (you can contact them via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) are well-versed with local regulations and can conduct thorough inspections to identify any mold growth or other issues.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is not just about comfort; it’s essential for health, especially in a climate as variable as Dubai's. Regular checks and proactive measures can significantly reduce the risk of respiratory problems.

Hope this helps!
